This isn't the first time the form to nowhere has been brought up -- I'm rather certain he is/was aware. I offered up Hammer's unasked for assistance anyhow. I'm sooooo helpful like that. Yeah, I can't actually fix the email. That has to be davean. Since we don't allow people under 13 anyway, I'm n...

Folks, I'm declaring this thread to be under Dear SB rules of engagement.

I don't want to move it, but you should treat this thread as a safespace, at least until slightlydead resurfaces and lets us know he's okay. Again, if anybody knows anything about how to find him, please let me know.

I assume whoever disapproved the post did it because without context, your username looks like a spambot's, and many spambots will post one-liners and edit in links a few days later. Go ahead and repost it. No thanks. Any forum that judges someone by the (pink) colour of their username and not the ...

Yes. That is pure awesome. Almost as awesome as the fact that Word 2007 both reads that ADS and then decides to go batshit insane when it finds it. The really fun part is that the initial merge with that file works fine. No indication whatsoever that there is an issue. But, when you save the docx, ...

I like Xanthir's theory, but cannot confirm it. I can. If you right-click on the file and look at its properties, you see a message about how the file came from another computer and has been blocked for your protection. There's an Unblock button next to it. Click the button and all the issues go aw...

Based on your information, the only thing I can think of is that Windows is tagging the file as "from the internet" when you do a Save As from your browser, and somehow this breaks things. This metadata is held outside the actual file's data, so nothing else can detect the difference. FTP...

OK, I'm ripping my hair out and you all know what happens to this forum if I go crazy, so you all best help me figure out what evil spirit I've offended and what must be sacrificed or I might do something rash like set everyone's title to "Belial Watches Fox News" or start banning people a...

@Jorpho: Most people don't get into knife fights in here. They just talk to each other in an environment where nobody is that concerned about being on topic or especially interesting or even coherent. It's also a place where the mods can participate without worrying about someone thinking they are A...

There is a board for people who participate in the community to self-promote a bit. However, we are not interested in drive-by posts from people who are just going to post about their game/band/site/etc and then never be seen again. Sorry, bro.

I've noticed in the last couple of days, there has been a lot of spam suddenly. Is there a reason for this? Have spam-bots suddenly worked out a way to get past the anti-spam measures of the forum, or is it just coincidence? One thing I've seen is that some of the bots have figured out that, if you...

Or, you could simply point God at an internet forum and stroll leisurely away with your loved one while God typed furiously about how everyone is wrong about Hungarian notation or whether brown is really a color or how far apart parsnips should be planted.

Also: Big difference between "colored people" and "people of color". In this case, the safespace was labelled by the affected group. I'm not a member of that group and I'm not going to tell those who are what they should call themselves.

I think it's also worth mentioning that, if the Men safespace thread had been created in the spirit of the other safespaces and contained things like men discussing the difficulties they encounter when doing things like choosing to stay home with the kids while their wife supports the family or feel...

If you're going to get animal presents, pray that they are dead animal presents. When we lived in a place where there was plenty of property for the cats to roam without making a nuisance of themselves, they liked to stock their private hunting grounds by catching live things like moles and chipmunk...

Cats may prefer to be outdoor cats. However, I did not enjoy when my neighbor's outdoor cats left pawprints on my car, sat outside my windows yowling at my indoor cats, jumped my fence to hang out on my hot tub cover, etc. I'd really prefer if my neighbors kept their cats on their own property.

(This isn't really discussing movies/tv so I didn't think it fitted there and there's no "links" forum so I just left this here, feel free to scold me) Actually, there is a links forum to which your topic has now been moved. Also, the whole "bitches" thing...we really don't roll...

I don't know what good it does to post this, for me or for anyone, but I've come to admit to myself that even now I want to be a man and not a woman. And not for healthy reasons, and in spite of the knowledge that I fundamentally can't be. I just feel cheated. I was told I would "outgrow it&qu...

OK, I don't normally do the shameless self-promotion thing, but my father (a silversmith) made something so cool I can't stand it and I must post about it in places. Because...MY DAD!!!! It's a sterling silver ring with a piece on top that lets you snap on back-clasp style button covers. I've always...

OK. Since Oregonaut intends to write no more of this story, I see no reason to leave a thread open to talk about a story he is not writing. Especially since we now seem to be doing something else entirely.

Question for those who identify as female with some technology career: How does it feel to be part of a field largely dominated by men? Do you care? Do think it actually makes a positive difference? I do care and it definitely makes a positive difference. Having women enter these fields helps more ...

Question for anyone with a "disability": On TV, people with disabilities are often portrayed as having a "superpower" directly resulting from their disability. Examples includes a person who is blind with an absurdly powerful sense of smell and a person with a mental disability ...

Thank you, Natraj. Question for a person of color who lives in and/or is familiar with insular communities: I am white. I wander around a lot and I often find that I have crossed an invisible line and suddenly everyone I see is black or Chinese or Indian or suchlike. When that happens, I feel like e...
